— Frey Starlight's POV —
A full month had passed since Londor.
I'd returned to my daily life inside the temple, which had completely closed itself off from the outside world ... transforming into a military war facility and treating us like soldiers.
And no group received stricter treatment than the second-year Elite Class, thanks to the remarkable quality of fighters our generation had produced—from swordsmen and tanks to wave controllers and mages.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that most of the Empire's future strength resided here within the walls of the Elite Class. Yet despite the current training intensity, it hadn't affected me in the slightest, thanks to the massive leap in my strength. That's what allowed me to win most of the time in sparring matches against the other elite students.
Today in particular... the students were once again paired up, as usual, to fight in duos.
